Ah, good. Easier way :) I try that then.

Ok, and understanding question: with your current snapshot cd am I able 
to do a buildworld/buildkernel without updating the source?

I mean, I installed the source from the cd. Now I wonder if I have to 
sync something or if it should be possible to build out of the box w/o 
any errors (beside my oddities). Can you do a buildworld/buildkernel 
with the bare cd installation ?

Thanks,
Andreas
